  1. I think the timing for setting the middles is the most difficult. They're trying to play fast, so the set needs to be hit on the way up or at it's peak to beat the block, unlike most outside sets. And every middle hitter jumps differently so the timing is just tougher to get down. They should get better as the season goes on, and hopefully they will develop a slide attack. Going to need that to keep the block honest.
  2. Herman has some petty, narcissistic traits. He's going to make some enemies (see Urban Meyer) and probably deserves some blame on this. There's just a little too much smoke for me to think otherwise. However, I don't like how Elliot handled the situation, putting coaches and a program on blast with tons of room for speculation. But none of this type stuff will matter if Herman gets things turned around. Although, there is a line that can be crossed (see Art Briles) which I don't think will happen with Herman. It's been said before, Saban and Meyer arguably the two most successful active college football coaches, can be or are complete assholes. They live in the grey area. Yet no one cares, because they win. I doubt this is the last time something like this happens involving Tom. I don't give a shit, if he wins and keeps the UT name and program in good standing.
  3. I was leaning towards the Sapphire...appreciate the help.
  4. I am new to all of this, but I have been doing some research and I’m trying to decide which card to get. I would like to get a card primarily for travel rewards. We would be traveling mostly domestically and would use SWA probably about 75% of the time and American and United the rest (those are the only airlines that fly out of our local airport). I already have the SWA Chase Visa, but want to add another. I used the credit card matching tool on thepointsguy website and was pre-approved and most interested in the Capital One Venture, Chase Sapphire Preferred, and the Bank of America Travel Rewards. I wouldn’t consider the BofA card except that I am in the top tier of rewards because I bank there. Also, I’m not locked into those three, they are just some of the ones that appeared when I did the matching tool. We don’t travel a ton at this point (kids in college) but enough that I would certainly like to take advantage of some of these reward programs. So, does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations?
  5. Urban is a petty, pompous, prick who is probably even more fueled by grudges than Herman. It's quite obvious that he has a burr up his ass for Herman, after his press conference last year when he called him out. I think he his taking these head to heads personal and pulling out all the stops. He obviously doesn't mind getting in the mud. Hopefully Herman has realized that his "mentor" is stomping on his throat. Your not going to win them all in recruiting but it is becoming very irritating losing the elite guys from Texas to this asshat. Stoops needs to share his bag-o-dicks with Urbs.
